Transatlantic Dialogue on Climate Change and Security

Issue:Climate change

On February 25, 2009, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) launched the “Transatlantic Dialogue on Climate Change and Security”, funded by a grant from the European Commission, with the purpose of analyzing the impact of climate change on global security and stability. The dialogue has included some of the foremost environmental and security experts from government, including the military and intelligence communities, academia, international organizations, and the private sector. The results, presented here, are intended to inform policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic on how to most effectively address climate change.
